Political communications analyst Professor Kobby Mensah has commended the government’s rapid response to the suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo’s recent press address, calling it a “textbook example of modern crisis communication done right.”

In a detailed social media post, the University of Ghana lecturer contrasted the current administration’s nimble reaction with the previous government’s much-criticized silence during the 2020 Martin Amidu resignation controversy. “Where the Nana Addo administration allowed Amidu’s ‘mother serpent of corruption’ narrative to dominate unchallenged for days, this government has shown they understand 21st century media realities,” Mensah observed.

The communications strategist highlighted how the immediate response prevented a one-sided narrative from taking root regarding Justice Torkornoo’s suspension proceedings. “In today’s digital age, every hour of silence amplifies the opponent’s message,” he noted, praising Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah’s team for “controlling the tempo” of the unfolding story.

Mensah’s analysis suggests the incident marks a maturation of government communications strategy, moving from reactive to anticipatory media engagement. However, he cautioned that consistency will be key: “This effective response sets a new benchmark the public will now expect maintained through future controversies.”

His post read “Swift Government Response Shows Lessons Learned from the Past.

In the evolving landscape of governance and public accountability, the importance of timely and strategic communication cannot be overstated. The government’s immediate response to the recent press statement by the suspended Chief Justice, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, is not only appropriate but necessary. This move ensures that the media space is not monopolised by a single narrative and that the public is given the benefit of hearing a balanced perspective from both sides.

This approach marks a significant departure from a past communication misstep that continues to serve as a cautionary tale, the 2020 resignation of Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu. At the time, the Nana Addo administration failed to offer a timely rebuttal or clarification in response to Amidu’s explosive resignation letter and the infamous “mother serpent of corruption” accusation. That silence created a vacuum, allowing Amidu’s version of events to dominate the national conversation unchallenged. In the absence of a counter-narrative, his account swiftly took root as fact in the minds of many Ghanaians.

The contrast between then and now is striking and commendable. By swiftly engaging the public and setting out its position in the matter involving Justice Torkornoo, the current administration demonstrates that it has learned from past communication lapses. This is not just about managing a media moment; it is about affirming the government’s commitment to transparency, responsiveness, and the democratic imperative of public accountability.

In today’s fast-paced media environment, where perception often precedes truth, failing to respond is not neutrality. It is negligence. The government’s proactive communication strategy in this case is a welcome evolution. It protects institutional credibility, ensures fairness in public discourse, and signals that no single voice, however prominent, should dominate the airwaves without scrutiny or context.

This is how modern governance should work; quick, clear, and communicative. For that, the government deserves praise. Kudos to Felix and team #PoliticalCommunication#PoliticalMarketing
